NETWORK Update

1. In 1996 the founding members hand picked a few homeless boys from the streets of Lagos to join a program with a sponsored by a leading Auto-mobile service company to train to become mechanics. Two became successful and today they are qualified technicians in one of the world's most successful brands. They have their own family and care well for them thanks to the Boyz- Network initiative.
We liaise with business organizations, governmental organizations and private individuals to organize structured and well monitored educational and community building programs such as the above. 

2. Recently we have been working with an N.G.O. in Helsinki, Finland to promote inter-cultural relationship as well as sponsorships for youth programs. This has proved very successful with great interests from the Private sectors and Government sectors.
Already in its third year running, the achievement in Finland has brought together various cultural groups together.
In London, we featured with a student run organization to promote African culture, support of black communities in social cultural issues such as crime among black youths in London, more Job opportunities for Africans and Afro-Caribbean, Teenage Pregnancies and many more. Speakers from several works of life attended to treat these topics and how the blacks could cope and improve their lives.
We continue to strive for the best in our people and are open to help and suggestions from well meaning people in our societies.

3. In October 2008, we celebrated in a unique and special way " NIGERIA" tagged the Green and White Party in Helsinki, Finland. The event which was not poorly publicized, took the entire black community by surprise. It was an unprecedented achievement from a few set of Nigerians coming together and producing an unforgettable result.
Excerpt of the event publication from the Guardian newspaper in Nigeria can be read from the Event link.

4. Now, October 2nd 2009 here in Helsinki, it will be happening live at the Multicultural center "CAISA". We will be featuring one of our own "Ebunoluwa Kivinen" a prolific artist of our time, Uptown boys "Flowstatic", Live stage drama, "DUPE Girls" as well as many other lineup event of the day.
